I'm at Olin now. Procrastinating.
It's lovely except that I feel like I have no time to actually do anything. There's a whole list running through my head of those little things that you can put off, and that do get put off for weeks, then months. I keep getting headaches too. Bad because I can't actually .do. anything when I have one. Stress? Maybe. I'll go to Babson Health for them and hopefully figure out how to not get headaches anymore.
Homework calls. Maybe I'll post more later.

I am sad.
It's that feeling of just waiting for something to be over so you can move on to something better. Except there's nothing to move on to.
Frustrating.

I've been studying for my Masala Art menu test (read: learning a ton of Indian vocabulary in about 2 days) for most of the day. I'm starting to go crazy with all of the similarities in the names. This is almost more studying that I've done for some of last semesters ICB tests...

It is no fun. Mostly I just need more sleep than I have time to get.

I got 7 fillings today.
I don't know how I feel about this.
My teeth have always been perfect.

Time goes by faster when I'm here. Maybe it's because I sleep more.
My parents are actually being sane, except for that taking pictures of my ass when I wear a bathing suit thing =/

Twenty four.
And eighteen of them were red.

This makes me happy.

So, I was listening to a debate on the radio this morning on my way to work, and I was surprised at how many people were actually really upset about the legalization of gay marriage here. In the south, I would have expected it-the whole 'defined as a union between a man and a women' thing-practically the only argument that advocates against gay marriage use consistently. Then they decided well, we can let them get married, but lets just *call* it something else, then religious people won't be offended. It was weird hearing this *here* though. I had more faith in Bostonians than that. It kind of goes along with what Roland found though..

Then again, those against gay marriage may have been more talkative/upset today, with the voting today and all..

I made cookies today.
They were delicious.

I saw Architecture in Helsinki yesterday.
It was amazing.

Why was it when we went to school for 8 hours a day, there was still time to do stuff (like homework and dinner) and still yet more time to do stuff *I* wanted to do in a weekday, but when I *work* 8 hours a day, there's time to eat and shower and..sleep?

I miss last summer.

I've stopped being randomly angsty for the most part, which is good. I mostly feel like myself again. I decided that I have seasonal depression, but I never new about it since I've lived in Florida :P. In any case, it's a good excuse when I don't know why I'm upset all the time.

The last day of classes is this Thursday. I'm really happy about this, since right now it just feels like I'm constantly running to catch up with everything. Next year's classes are going to be really exciting too. Here, I'm regeistered for FBE, POE (with Oscar), and Modern Physics. At Wellesley, I'm taking French 103, which is 5 class periods a week, and is *supposed* to teach me two semesters of French in one. I'm super excited because I /might/ actually end up being fluent in another language, at least, enough to spend a semester in France.

On a last note, I've slept for most of today, and should probably try to be productive now...

Small children should not be allowed on planes. >.< .

So. My poor, neglected journal. *sigh*
So I'm going to Olin (which we all know). For the semester, at least. It's kinda weird. The summer was so long when it was stretched out in front of me. And when I look back on it, it still was. But it went by a lot faster than I expected it to. Leaving in a week. Mixed feelings, but Boston will be much fun. As will New York.

Finally getting my drivers license this week. Just in time to go up north. Also exciting. I really have nothing much else to say. I'm just kinda not having anything else to do at the moment....

I havent updated in a while. And now since theres nothing better to do, I might as well fill in the last week of my life.

I've been going back and forth between transferring to UF from Olin. I'm not even sure if it's possible at this point. I don't know if we're moving. I think I'll stay at Olin. UF is still infinitely cheaper though. Even without National Merit.
So why did I choose Olin? Because it was /so/ much cooler. Because of all the amazing people. Because I can engineer my first year instead of learning calculus and physics and being bored. Because I can get away from home. Because it's something new.
But now, with the prospect of possibly moving, I think I'd rather stay here than move forever. God. Why did this have to heppen /now/? 3 months ago and I would've been able to factor it into my college choices. But thats life. I'm just realizing how much I'll miss my old friends if I never see them again. But I'll miss my Olin friends dearly too if I never get to meet them. gah. decisions. And I'm not a decisive person. But at least I'm not depressed about it anymore. Just.....in a limbo, of sorts. I think I'll stay at Olin. I'll be fine once I get there.
god. 3 weeks is so soon.

mmmmmmm......I'm bored.
I really have nothing to say.

and people confuse me.

meh.

I'll feel better later.

So today I saw An Inconvenient Truth. You know, that documentary with Al Gore? We had to drive for about an hour to get to a theatre showing it. It was basically a video of the speech he gives, but there were clips, and cool music and such. Overall it was a good movie. It reminded me of my frustration at politicians who dont do anything. www.climatecrisis.net go there. have fun. It makes me want to do something. But then I'd make a horrible politician.

On another note, we got the new registers today at Publix. They're EVIL. No, really. They're running windows, and they're not quite registers..they're computers. With touchscreens. And a lag. So whenever I ring something up, it takes about a second for it to register on the screen. Typing in the codes and check numbers and such is also wonderful on the touch screen. I suppose I'll get used to them. After 2 hours on it I got (almost) back to the normal speed of things.

So I FINALLY know my scores. After hours of busy servers, slow computers, and not-being-home-to-stress-over-IB-scores, I now know that I PASSED. w00t. Not that it makes a difference at Olin or anything.

Yesterday was interesting.
I found a bookstore. One of those old new/used book places where you can trade in things. The trading books rule is confusing though..the guy who owns the place is really anal. Its a fun place to explore though.

I got my roommate, after being tortured for 4 hours not being able to see my mail. Now my excitedness about next year has been renewed..god, 7 more weeks.

And my 7 year old sister decided to throw a coke (closed) down the stairs when she discovered that I had food in my room. Needless to say, it exploded. And since she started crying about it, I got to clean it up. I'm glad we have tile.

Today I'm going to St. Augustine. It should be fun, I think. Maybe I'll take pictures..
